Reflections on LIMUN Day Two
Written by Alexandra Snowdon, Journalist, LIMUN 2026
The second day of the 27th edition of London International Model United Nations University Conference (LIMUN UC) is in full swing. Committees launched into their discussions without hesitation, with it clear that delegates were eager to debate their stances this morning.
As I walked through the corridors of King’s College this morning for this years LIMUN UC, I found myself walking past rooms rife with passionate voices debating various agendas, from INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organisation) discussing issues regarding the use of AI regarding databases in each country, to SOCHUM (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee) addressing the significance of tourism on each nation's cultural identity. A common thread was neatly interwoven in each discussion: A sense of duty to accomplish a goal that benefits all. The SOCHUM committee showcased this best with key countries such as Argentina, Spain and Peru making the largest contributions. All collaborations within this committee’s debate were centered around all nations working together to find common ground, and through diplomacy, a solution can be found.
Committee II began at 10am and finished by 12pm, debate in SOCHUM committee began with the delegate of Argentina taking the floor first, giving a speech reminding the delegates in the room why they are all here and the importance of each country attempting to understand one another's views upon how tourism is impacting their nations. The delegate of Spain stood and spoke of understanding their role as uniting countries together and that this unification should benefit all, with tourism being marketed effectively. With marketing being brought up, the topic shifted to the discussion on the matter of the digital age. The delegate of Peru took this as an opportunity to vouch for the digital age. They spoke on how the digital age is useful to not only promote culture but it can help promote the voice of minorities, help people discuss or even find their lost identities and create a tangible heritage.
It is clear, through the first full day of Committees, that yesterday’s opening ceremony has left the delegates with a burning sense of fervour to promote the values that represent the United Nations.
